Some mathematical patterns are so subtle you could search for a lifetime and never find them. Others are so common ... First, choose an interval on the number line, say 1 to 1,000, or something more ...

The find suggests number theorists need to be a little ... they do eventually shake off the pattern and give the random distribution mathematicians are used to expecting. “Our initial thought ...

As the name suggests, researchers were surprised to find somewhat of a pattern in the infinite expanse of prime numbers, which were long thought to be random. A prime number is a whole number that ...

Two mathematicians have found a strange pattern in prime numbers ... theorists find it useful to treat the primes as a ‘pseudorandom’ sequence, as if it were created by a random-number ...

The seemingly random digits known as prime numbers are not nearly as scattershot as previously ... were described by the "circle method" developed nearly a century ago to find patterns in primes. "For ...

Behind this confidence lies a belief that if you only knew how to look hard enough, patterns would appear in seemingly random markets. “It’s not completely random and unpredictable ...
